Switched to Crappie Jigs, Tube Jigs, and various fishing flies. Caught more on them; lost count after 20. Fish… [read more]

The Frito Fishing Fly worked well with lots of hook ups and like yesterday,… [read more]

Below is the follow-on video of the action from yesterday when we fished Tickey Creek! Really liking the simple fishing flies that work great on the Sabiki Rig for White Bass! Calling them Frito Fishing Flies for now since we made them from a Frito Bag that a certain unnamed individual finished without sharing! Going to tie… [read more]

Planned to fish Denison Dam this morning but with rain in the forecast, decided to fish Lake Lavon this morning. Action was slow but steady with several Catfish caught on Nightcrawlers and more caught using Beef Liver. For some reason, the local grocery stores were out of fresh (never frozen) Chicken Livers. Also, did see… [read more]

Only one White Bass this round at Brockdale Park. Caught it using the Daiwa Sealine Surf Casting Rod and Penn Squall 15 Reel. It struck a multi-rigged Marabou Fishing Fly that simulated a school of bait fish (at least a school of three that is). Did have some fun sight casting to two schools of… [read more]

Headed to Brockdale Park after work this evening. More casting practice with the Daiwa Sealine Surf Casting Rod and Penn Squall 15 Reel. No bites for a while and then caught two White Bass using a White Tube Fly. Wind was up, so it was difficult to see rising schools. Mainly blind casted. Next step…… [read more]
